We are pleased to announce that Imerys Minerals Beverley calcium carbonate operation received the OHSAS18001 accreditation during July 2010, an international award that recognises the excellence of Beverley's occupational health and safety management systems.

The Beverley operation is the first site within Imerys Minerals Limited to attain the coveted OHSAS18001:2007 standard and the first site in European Performance Minerals to attain all three external standards:

ISO9001:2008 - Quality Management System

ISO14001:2004 - Environmental Management System

OHSAS18001:2007 - Occupational Health & Safety Management System

"Health & Safety is a key part of our culture and we wanted to link all our activities, products and services to the best principles and practices. We saw OHSAS 18001 as an ideal route to help us achieve full integration of our operating systems" – Steve Smith, Beverley Plant Manager

BS OHSAS 18001 is the internationally recognised assessment for occupational health and safety management systems. The standard promotes a safe and healthy working environment by providing a framework that allows an organisation to consistently identify and control its health and safety risks, reduce the potential for accidents, aid legislative compliance and improve overall performance.
